Looking for crop alternatives management for irrigated rice possible, different systems of ryegrass straw management and aplication of fertilizers were evaluated, in relation to nutrient concentration in the solution were at there places. The experiment was conducted at the Federal University of Santa Maria, located in Central Depression Region of Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil in the agricultural year of 2000/01. The experiment was in a randomized block with four replications, in split-split-plots design with three factors: ryegrass straw in three levels (i) no-tillage with ryegrass whole plant, (ii) ryegrass plant incorporated in soil and (iii) without ryegrass plant; time of fertilizers nitrogen and phosphorus application for rice (i) without fertilizer, (ii) fertilizer applied at the ryegrass sowing time and (iii) fertilizer applied at rice planting; and three places of sampling (i) surface water (ii) 3 cm depth and (iii) 30 cm depth in mini lysimeters. The results showed that ryegrass straw incorporation increases the potassium concentration in the water over the soil surface and contributes to percolation of calcium, magnesium, sodium, manganese and zinc in the soil profile. The concentration of there ions and potassium in the stagnant rice water remained below the established critical limits of environmental contamination stated by low.
